The invention relates to a YaxAB
nanopore, a
system comprising the
nanopore and application of the YaxAB
nanopore. The YaxAB nanopore of the present invention has a funnel-shaped three-dimensional structure so that the change in current blocking according to the movement of an
analyte captured inside the nanopore can be maximized, thereby enabling very sensitive measurement even of the structure and minute changes in physical and chemical properties (including dynamic changes and the like) of the
analyte. And can cause very strong electroosmosis with high cation selectivity, such that various types of analytes can be captured and analyzed without being limited to the type of total charge. In addition, with respect to the nanopore of the present invention, the
amino acid sequence of the
monomer constituting the nanopore can be adjusted to improve
protein purification yield and control an oligomerization mechanism, and thus a YaxAB nanopore having a pore size that cannot be formed by a wild-type
monomer can be prepared. Furthermore, with respect to the nanopores of the present invention, YaxAB nanopores of various pore diameters can be secured using one-time purification, and nanopores of desired pore diameters can be selectively secured. Thus, limitations of conventional biological nanopores having fixed pore diameters can be overcome, so that for the YaxAB nanopore of the present invention, the size of the nanopore can be adjusted according to the size of an
analyte. Further, the YaxAB nanopores of the present invention have a very wide analyte analysis range of dynamic detection range from small analytes to large analytes, which is caused by a funnel-shaped three-dimensional structure having a wide inlet and a narrow outlet. In addition, the YaxAB nanopore of the present invention has the largest nanopore structure among the hitherto biological nanopores, and a large-size analyte, which cannot be detected by conventional biological nanopores, can be detected and analyzed in a single molecule on the basis of a funnel structure having a large inlet. Furthermore, the present invention has established an optimized composition of a membrane in which YaxAB nanopores can be stably present, and by using a sensor implemented on the basis thereof, it is possible to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze various types of analytes having relatively various sizes and charges at a single molecule level with
very high resolution and sensitivity.
